Blog assignment 9

1) Sam Wood is a policemen who has the night shift.  He is the first character we know about in the story.

2) Sam Wood is an average man.  This is because his name just blends in and doesn't stand out.  His name also tells us that he is quite casual and easy going because the name Sam is short for something longer, and so he likes a more casual, shorter name.  His last name Wood also tells us something.  Wood is very plain but strong and that represents his character very well.  He is very orderly and takes pride in his job.  He is kind but strong and is a very careful sort of person.

3) Delores Purdy.  She is 16 and is considered white trash because of the area she lives in, and is very poor. She is very often up at a late hour and doesn't care who can see her naked through the window.

4) One, 19 year old man named Ralph.

5) He says that all the black people are winning the fights because they don't feel anything when they get hit.  He says that is because they have a nervous system like an animal, that they are animals, and that you would have to hit them twice as hard just for them to feel it.

6) The symphony orchestra is coming to their town and Sam hopes it will bring in some money and tourists to the city.

7) Wells

8) Manoli, the symphony director.
